shortness of breath subsequent to zoledronic acid infusion
Because of GI problems, bisphosphonate tablets are not an option for me, so I have gone down the infusion path. I had my first infusion on December 28th, and experienced about three days of bad muscle pain, which then resolved itself. It was a couple of weeks later that I noticed that my ankles were

Monitor for Afib
Hi all,Having gone into permanent Afib after a covid infection with no previous history I've had a cardioversion whist on amiodarone. As far as I'm aware I'm still in sinus rhythm and now off amiodarone (thank goodness). I'm on the waiting list for an ablation. My question is it worth getting some kind

GP appointment and blood tests - will recent steroid injection skew results?
Afternoon everyone, I had a GP appointment yesterday to discuss my symptoms. Went through everything that has happened since the summer. She sent me for blood tests today which included CRP, ESR, Rheumatoid factor and various other tests relating to autoimmune conditions. She insisted I call back for

rheumatoid arthritis
Hi I’m Lynne. I’ve had Rheumatoid Arthritis for around 5 years. I’m on (tocilizumab) and Methotrexate injections once a week plus 10 mg steroids .

Hemorrhoids from higher cholesterol
I thought I'd ask if this is common for other people. I suspect my Hemorrhoids have got quite bad as a result of slightly underactive thyroid. My cholesterol is mildly high - 5.7 when it should be below 5. Also I have gilberts syndrome which is high bilirubin. When I fasted or went more than 6 hrs without

afib and chest infection
hi. My afib has been steady for around 3 months (ie no episodes). My HR runs around 52-60. I’ve started with a chest infection yesterday (can remember feeling like this for a long time) I checked my afib via Apple Watch and although it says I’m in sinus rhythm my HR is low to mid 90’s. Could this

Does anyone know if you can have both bronchiectasis (which I've been diagnosed with) and interstitial

(which I haven't)?

Dont panic.All I could think of was Corporal Jones.
Hi everyone. Earlier today I had to go to the Post Office to renew my driving licence. Couldn't do it online as passport had expired. They take your old licence, payment and then take your photo. Made a proper spectacle of myself as I was literally gasping for air. The Post Office counter lady was

Weight problems and insensitive people
I've been so self conscious since gaining so much weight from my underactive thyroid that I'm basically a hermit in my own home, I barely go outdoors, for fear of being called up on my weight gain, or "looking well". Today I decided to go outdoors only to bump into an old acquaintance who couldn't resist

5-htp for adrenal insufficiency?
I've just read a bunch of articles about 5-htp (an amino acid precursor to serotonin) stimulating the HPA axis and increasing cortisol levels. Has anyone tried this when tapering through the lower doses of pred?

fatigue
I was just changed from monthly blood tests to 6 months and 6 month check ups....the doc said I was stable and there was a good chance i would never need treatment. I am 76 and maybe he thought I would naturally not live that long. Anyway, my concern is this ongoing fatigue that smacks me in the face

Discoid lupus
Hi. I have just got results of biopsy. I have discoid lupus, I have also had full blood checks and came back clear. Every where I read says discoid lupus only affects the skin. But I have been experiencing joint pain pretty much every part of my body where there's joints, stiffness, extreme fatigue.

Afib medication
just spoken to a heart consultant first appointment. He has took me of bisporpol as heart rate still to high 180 bpm especially when I’m a sleep while in AFib. but I mentioned when I go back into normal sinus rhythm my pulse crashes to 30 beats per minute which makes me poorly in a way that I’m nearly

PSA At Very Low Levels But Starting to Rise
My PSA started to rise from undetectable up to about .36 in July 2021 after 9 years of treatment. My MO reviewed a PSMA and decided to have my largest tumor radiated. My PSA went below .05 once again shortly thereafter. My most recent PSA labs were : .05, .06, .06, and .09 last week. I am conferring

Slow Heart Rate
Does anyone else get episodes when their heart rate goes very low? I’m in AF the whole time and the only medication I’m on is propranolol. Since being AF my heart rate has increased but not massively and I tend to be around 80bpm. As far as I can tell my heart rate never goes above 100 unless with

Post RP/SRT Pelvic Mass?
